Mina

I was riding my bike to school when a black pick-up truck pulled up next to me, I could tell by the way he was driving that it was Jared.

Rolling down the window Jared looked over "Toss the bike in the back, you and I are going to miss school"

Knowing I would be late anyways I obliged, tossing the bike in the back was harder than it looked and the bike fell on me causing Jared to jump out and help me, after tossing the bike in the back he bent down to make sure I was OK, looking worried he scooped me up and gently placed me in the front seat of the truck.

"You could have asked for help."

"I know but you always look so upset when I ask, I feel like I'm a bother so I like to try it on my own" Hiding my deep frown, I've always hated it when he comes to my rescue, I lived just fine till I was 16, without anyone's help. Then the Story came and messed all that up.

"I don't mind it that much, it just makes me wonder how you have lived through so many fairy tales when you are so clumsy. I get concerned about you." That made me question him, it almost sounded like he was worried about me more than my Grimoire should be. "After all you could die at any moment and I could fall into the wrong hands" And he was back.

"You didn't have to show yourself to me." I was tired of repeating those 8 words, in the last month we had been fighting more and I said that when I was done with the fight. We fought most often about my impending doom, not something a 16 year old should be worried about.

"I know. Im sorry." And just like that the fight was over and I could focus on where we were driving. I looked out to see what was outside and saw that we were driving along a washboard dirt road, I could make out the end of the road and there was a clearing. As we got closer I could see a pond that I recognized.

"What are we doing here? Isn't this the place that you trained me at?"

"Yes it is, I thought we could make a good memory here, so I got a picnic set up and asked your mom about what size you are so I could get you a swimsuit" as he said this he pulled out a pastel blue 50's style swimsuit that I had been coveting for a while "I saw you looking at it last week and thought I could get it for you."

Speechless I took the garment from him and held it up to the light "Its perfect"

"Great! So you can change behind the truck and I have a surprise for you when you get done."

Jared

While she was getting into the swimsuit I went and straightened out the blanket for the picnic, then I ran to change into my swim trunks. This idea came from Ever if you could believe it. She said that Mina might like to go on a date so she told me to come here. I have it all planed out for Mina to have a wonderful day. I've chosen this pond because a young nixie lives in it and the tunnels that are under it.

"Its a nice day for a swim" I jumped from her nearness.

"Oh we will be doing more than just swimming" I said with a wink; hoping to catch her off guard so she wouldn't ask too many questions, and it seemed to work, after a short snack of dried fruit, cheese and water I walked with her to the water.
